SEPARABLE SCARF-IPIN.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK C, DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Joseph, in the. county of Buchanan, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inseparable Scarf-Pins; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention is directed to the provision of a scarf pin structureincluding detachably connected head and pin portions whereby a plurality of diflerent ornamental heads may be associated with asingle pin portion for support thereby on a scarf.

' It is the object of the present invention to provide an improved detachable connection for the head and pin body of a scarf pin, which may be most readily manipulated to connect or disconnect the head with respect to the pin body, but which when the head is connected aliords a firm securement thereof to the head body, such readily manipulated structure being simple in nature whereby to permit an exceedingly low cost of manufacture and to insure durability and efliciency in continued use.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention resides more particularly in the novel combination, formation and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

11 the accompanying drawings:

Figure l is a perspective view of a scarf pin having its pin body and head portions detachably connected in a manner embodying the present invention.

ig. 2 is a sectional view through the detachable connection transversely of the axis of the pin body.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the attaching end of the pin body.

eferring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, there is shown the head of a scarf pin including a base plate 5 which -may carry a stone or other ornament 6, and secured to the rear face of this base plate at one side thereof is, one end of a spring strip 7 extending across the base plate and provided adjacent its secured end with a transverse channel 8 in its inner face, formed by bowing the metal of the strip outwardly.

to engage in the scarf Patented May 6,1919,

The pin body for association with this head structurecomprises an ordinary wire shank 9 sharpened at one end to engage in the scarf fabric or other support, and this shank is freely movable through the channel 8 of the spring strip whereby. it may be held by said strip against the back'plate 5. The other end of the. shank 9 is bent laterally and then inwardly at 10 in hook shape and the free extremity of the bill of this hook shaped portion is bent laterally from the plane of the hook shaped portion, to form a shaped rectlon of the finger 11. When the head and pin body portlons are connected as shown Fig. 1, the bill of the hook shaped pora plurality of head members may be associated with a single pin body, procuring a considerably economy in avoiding the neces- 'sity of providing a pin body for each head member, and also procuring a decided convenience to the wearer in traveling, since one or more of the head members may be conveniently stored, or carried in the pocket without danger of injury or damage by proj ecting pin bodies.

To prevent loss or theft of the pin when worn in the scarf, a pin projection 12 is formed on the lower edge portion of the base plate 5, which extends transversely of the main pin body shank 9 and which is adapted to prevent direct upward movement of the pin body in normal relative position of the pin and scarf, it being noted that in detachment it is necessary to move the scarf inwardly from the lower portion of the head member of the pin, provide clearance forth'e pin projection What is claimed is: 1. In a separable scarf pin, the combination with-ahe ad, o-f a spring clip secured to the teatime" apin body 'removably engaged with the clip and bodily removable from the 22' The combination with the-head portion of a searf p'in, of" apin body bodily removable therefrom and having one end portionforrffedfinhook shape with the extremity of its bill; extending later-ally from the plane of the hook to provide a stop finge'r and a spring clip" membersecured to the head portion for nrging' the hookpor' tion of the fpi'n'body against the head portion, and engageable' by said stop finger to prevent relative movement of the head portion longitudinally ofthe pin body.

3; The combination with the head portion of 'a =scarfpin,-of a p'in'body bodily re movable therefrom and" including a shank havingone "end formed in hook shape with the, extremity of the bill of the hook extending laterally from the plane of the hook to provide a stop finger and a spring strip havingone end secured to the head portion and provided on its inner face adjacent its securement to the head portion witha trans verse channel adapted to receive the shank of the pin body the bill portion of the hook 40 being engageable between the other end of the spring strip and the head portion.

4. A separable scarf pin including ahead, a pinbody bodily removable therefrom,'anda springclip carried by the head and ineluding portions formed to produce a channel in which the pin body is engaged with its sides engaging the sides of thechann'el to prevent lateral movement of the pinabody with respect to the' head, saidpin body'in-- cluding portiens engaging thespring-clip in a way to prevent longitudinalmovement of the pin body with respecttothe head, said clip being shiftable against itsspring action to permit removal of the pin: body therefrom and from the'head and re-a plication of the pin-*body to the clip and head;

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in the presence oftwo witnesses.
